Facial Contouring
FACIAL CONTOURING WITH DERMAL FILLER
Dermal Fillers are exceptionally effective at treating the face and are utilised to balance asymmetry, for contouring and defining the natural features. It is also utilised to for plumping lips and cheeks, restructuring temples, jaw lines and chins and improving the look of the nose through non-surgical nose job.
Made up from hyaluronic acid which is a natural sugar already present in the human body.
When injected, it can repair and reverse the ageing process. These injections instantly fill and soften the area, enhancing and creating volume where needed. With an emphasis on a ‘less is more’ approach, our desire is to always create a natural, fresh look, only adding more to the area as required.
Dermal fillers have an immediate effect and can be long-lasting (depending on the area to be treated and the individual).
HOW DO DERMAL FILLERS WORK?
Patients will typically attend an initial consultation with our aesthetic practitioner, at which their suitability for the treatment can be confirmed. The dermal fillers procedure can involve a series of injections, depending on the requirements of the individual. In preparation for the injection, the targeted part of the face is numbed with a topical anaesthetic cream first.
Following a dermal fillers injection, patients can resume their everyday activities. It is recommended that patients refrain from rubbing or massaging the affected area of the face for a few days after the treatment.
THE BENEFITS OF DERMAL FILLER
-NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS
One thing which most cosmetic treatment patients have in common is that they want natural looking results. Nobody wishes to be left with the tell-tale signs that they have had cosmetic work done. Dermal filler injections are able to offer this desirable, natural look, which retains the normal movements and expressions of the face.
-MINIMALLY INVASIVE
Unlike plastic surgery, dermal facial fillers are a minimally invasive treatment. Not only does this mean that the procedure itself is less drastic than many surgical options carried out by plastic surgeons, but it also makes the treatment shorter than many more intensive options. Depending on the type, a dermal filler procedure will generally take under an hour, meaning that they need not disrupt the everyday activities of the patient. The recovery time is negligible, and that is compared to the rest time of between four to six weeks which is required by surgery.
– NON-PERMANENT
Because dermal fillers are a minimally invasive treatment which typically use hyaluronic acid that the body produces naturally, the effects gradually wear away over time as the acid is reabsorbed. For many, this is seen as an advantage, as it does not require a commitment to permanent surgery. Dermal fillers can be topped up periodically, allowing us to retain a youthful appearance in the long run, without surgery. And it should be noted that the effects usually last up to 12-18 months, meaning that dermal fillers are not typically required at regular intervals.
– REVERSIBLE
If for any reason a patient is not happy with the result of their dermal fillers treatment, there is a simple solution, and that is to reverse the effects immediately. In these cases, an enzyme known as Vitrase is used. It can be injected soon after the procedure and is capable of reversing the effects in a very short time.
